<hr>
If you're reading this datapad, you probably have gained an interest in what the daily commodities and rights of a Kinaris worker may be, or you have recently been employed and are looking for further information. Under the latter's case; welcome! It's not an easy transition to working under a larger corporation for any Azurean, and we are here to alleviate that stress. Whether or not you fall under any of these categories, or are clueless at all to who we are, please do take a read!

<h2>What is Kinaris? </h2>
<p>
If you are unfamiliar to Azurean space, then you are most definitely unfamiliar with the entirety of Kinaris itself. Kinaris is the primary company under the rule of Azurea, who not only manufactures goods, but is a forefront of Radiant Technology, space exploration, exo-colony development, and asset protection. As such, it is a very expensive operation that almost entirely depends on it's own manufactured goods- and selling of such- towards it's own colonies, which is an extent of colony taxation and revenue collection after they've initially been set up. The sheer stability of it's exponential growth and safety has piqued the interest from other regions and promising even more imports and exports between Kinaris and other affiliates (including but not limited to; Lancaster Industries, CorpraTek, Grinlok Conglomerate, <s>and Nanotrasen</s>). The dependable and and noble nature of the heads at Kinaris had inevitably led to constant backing by the Azurean Government, and increased fortitude in asset protection. This ultimately ended up in Kinaris being the leading, and most-trusted government under Azurea law.
<p>
The word Kinaris means "of kin", which translates to "of family", and that is the intent of Kinaris. A family nourishes you and helps you grow, through hardship and every step of the way along the road of becoming an individual. With every lesson learned, you grow. With every riddled situation, you learn anew. Kinaris is no different from that of the teachings of a mother or a father; intent to ensure that you can be a successor, and be better than your previous self. You are as important as everyone else in the world, yet you are unique. These rights are protected under Kinaris.

<h1><u>Chapter 2</u></h1>
<h2>How Kinaris Came to be</h2>
<p>
Rising up to mega-corporation status and being backed as the most trustable force within several sectors is not a simple task whatsoever. There are mistakes along the road, and there are plenty of issues forthwrought with even considering such a task. Kinaris begun as nothing more than a simple cargo company nearly two centuries from the date of March 5th, 2560. Initially, the company began as nothing more than a delivery service by none other than Centurian Kinaris, within a low-tech sector out of Azurean Gov's grasp. Due to the unfortunate events of resistance against The Phoenix at the time, most sectors like this were outright ravaged and decimated into a smoldering pulp of mud and ash, where individuals kept to themselves and were cut-throat towards one another. This led to imports and exports often being outright mistrusted due to one scandallous event of poisoned rations after another. This was an opportunity for Centurian, who was one of the most trusted individuals within the sector, and opened up his shipping goods company after months of hauling for others. This in time spread word and opened further opportunities for Centurian himself, who saw these as nothing more than help to give towards those who needed it. Kinaris outright spent a good portion of it's early life as another small company with a few workers trickling in every now and then, indifferent to the thousands of others littering the frontier.
<p>
What eventually settled Kinaris off from the norm of other companies was nothing more than the surge of artificial interest in becoming Radiant across Azurean space. Unlike most companies who resisted and fought against The Phoenix, Kinaris heeded it's will. It was said that Centurian himself was a vissionare in his early days, led by the golden light, as he called it. In most frontier sectors, this was appalled and shunned by most communties, who aimed to flee as far as they could from Azurea itself, to escape Radiance. This was a short downfall in Kinaris's momentum, as it's trust rapidly decimated into nothing in due time, and prompted anger within it's customers. However, Centurian prevailed, and in a simple matter of days, sectors begun following in Radiance in the bulk, and as a result, formed a bond with the company. It is unclear how exactly Centurian managed to pull off such a dangerous feat, but that is just more evidence towards his Radiance.
<p>
As the interest in Radiance surged across Azurean space, so did the success of Kinaris. One sector converted, one sector gained trust. More trust, more revenue. More revenue, more improvements. Rinse and repeat, for a hundred years. For a while, Radiance was nothing more than a melody that went with the chorus of Kinaris; a simple cargo company turned head over heels into a Pristine Zealot of Light, converting those within it's path instead of decimating it to smoldering ash, feeding back into the acceptance of Radiance as a whole for the people of Azurean Space. Centurian was nothing more than the leader of peace and safety, giving to those who needed help the most, branching off far beyond that of simple freight shipments. With trust, he smote down those who did not heed to peace, rather violence. Some did not believe in his ways. This led to his death after a Nanotrasen Assault on his capital freighter.
<p>
Today, his tomb drifts within the gas clouds of Myril Majoris, Azurea's gas giant. In memoriam of the one person who heeded unity with individualism into Azurea's people. He was nothing more than Radiant, nothing less.

<h2>How Kinaris Operates Today</h2>
<p>
Modern-day Kinaris is a different story than that of previous-century Kinaris, with less aggression and more protection, yet it is the other side of one coin. Having gone past the days of aggression and forthright domination, KN's goal these days is that of a stalwart. Reliable, hardworking, and most of all: loyal. Having gone far from it's roots of zealot-like exports, imports, and radical conversion, Kinaris is that of an expanded mindset and reach, especially due to the usage of Radiant Technology. Today, Kinaris offers not only jobs in freight, but that of common commodities such as food growth and production, alongside processing. Further down the line includes industrial production and that of factory-assisted work, robotics, research, asset protection, and more. When a new sector, area or ship is attained, it is assigned a Commander, in which they ensure it is secured with it's own technological advances and supplies, to ensure the working condition of any outpost, station, or ship that KN may claim ownership of. After initial supplying and resource distribution, workers are given a period of time to get set up before sending shipments out for Kinaris to collect and maintain as exports elsewhere, ultimately with profit in mind. This may not be the case for every new sector attained, but it is often standard protocol, with more upgrades to the sector coming forth as a the Commander may see fit; and often times, Commanders are rotated in and out from the sector.
<p>
Kinaris Officials and Commanders are often protected by a multitude of laws that allow them to display their power and ensure that workers are making profits, and may even be escorted by KN Elites and Zealots, if suspected threats are within the area. Usage of force is often permitted in the instance of non-compliance with a Commander, who is above any captain or high-ranking individual in control of that sector, and is more often than not, above KN Law, but below Radiance Protocol. Kinaris Officials do not get this benefit.
<p>Above Commanders, there may be a regional director who controls and permits what Commanders do in their sectors, and above that, there will be a member of the board who represents certain regions. There is no distinct "CEO" of Kinaris, rather a board of directors who have fully committed to Radiance, and have the near-full extent of Radiant Technology within their system. The closest personnel to a higher rank above that would be Valarie Kinaris, the daughter of the founder. She still answers to other board members, as they answer to her, however.

<h2>Usage of Radiance</h2>
<p>
If you've been blessed by The Phoenix's light, then we commend you for such a noble hierarchy to achieve! As Radiance Protocol is rather straightforward in the eyes of Kinaris and we do not doubt the usage of the beholder, it is permitted to use Radiant Technology within Kinaris-owned space, so as long as it involves a more efficient workflow. Usage of smiting should be used with caution.
